FROM PHOTO BOOKS TO YEARBOOKS AND MORE

Pixami Company History


Founded in 1999 and headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, Pixami is a leading provider of online software solutions for the creation of school yearbooks, and personalized, printed photo products including photo books, greeting cards, calendars, posters, canvas prints, mugs, mousepads, fabrics, and other photo gifts.

We developed the world's first online photo book creator in 2000, and have a long history licensing software to large, high-profile companies in the consumer photo market including MyPublisher, Snapfish, Sony, Yahoo!, American Greetings, Kodak, Epson, and many others.

In 2010, Pixami launched our yearbook software after realizing the need for a full-featured, easy-to-use online platform for independent yearbook publishers and portrait studios. Yearbooks quickly became a very fast growing part of our business.

Pixami also has extensive experience in digital print and related technologies, having worked for many years with the leading photo book publishers and equipment manufacturers to streamline the web-to-print process for personalized photo products.

Pixami solutions are based on a proprietary online platform, developed 100% in-house, and are completely brandable, highly customizable, and available in multiple languages. Pixami customers drive thousands of live sites worldwide, and process millions of orders per year, in markets that include yearbooks, consumer photo, travel and tourism, events, and team sports.
